As the demands for forest products increase, additional timber harvesting operations can be expected on steep mountainous terrain, The resulting disruption of natural slope stability by man's disturbances (roadbuilding, logging and vegetative manipulation, etc.) may also accelerate mass movement processes in this terrain. Swanston (1969) defines mass movement as ".,...
Various types of mass movement features are found in the drainage
basin of the East Fork Coquille River in the southern Oregon Coast
Range. The distribution and forms of mass movement features in the area
are related to geologic factors and the resultant topography.
The Jurassic Otter Point Formation, a...
Landforms sculpted by mass movements comprise much of the landscape in the Middle Santiam study area. Bedrock in the area is
mostly basalt and andesite flows and varied volcaniclastic rocks of the Little Butte Volcanic Series of Oligocene and early Miocene age, unconforniably overlain by andesite flows and tuffs of...
Quantification of macroscale transport phenomenon in microfluidic systems is important to many science and engineering disciplines. In part, this is because fully resolved solutions to microscale balance laws over large domains are out of reach with current computational technology. Additionally, engineers are most often interested in some upscaled quantity and...
A steady-state, liquid-liquid contactor, which was a
modified version of a cell Previously developed by Godfrey,
was constructed for the study of interphase mass transfer.
In particular, the contactor was developed in order to
eliminate problems encountered while studyinpg ternay
systems with the conventional Lewis cell.
The system, water-benzoic acid...
A contactor has been designed and constructed for experimental
studies of mass transfer with or without chemical reaction between
two fluid phases. The contactor is flexible enough to investigate a
wide range of variables affecting mass transfer coefficients. It is
easy to operate; it could be operated either as a...
